RecDesk Summer Internship Opportunity - posted 4/28/2015

My name is Mike and I'm the founder of a small, profitable software company called RecDesk (http://recdesk.com) with offices in East Hartford. We provide Recreation Management and Financial software to municipal Parks & Recreation departments and similarly focused non-profits.

I'm looking to hire a summer intern for the period June through mid-August to help out with some initiatives we have going on. This is a paid position and would be a great opportunity for a local CompSci or MIS/CIS student looking to gain some real-world experience and push themselves a bit.

Attached please find a job description that outlines both the work plus the type of person I'm looking for to fill this position. If you could forward this on to any and all motivated, enthusiastic students in your program I would appreciate it. Please call or email with any questions and thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Cisco Systems Internship and Job Opportunities, posted 12/9/2014

Brad Mannel ’98 of Cisco Systems in Boston recently contacted Tritiy about a summer intern program (juniors eligible) and a full-time entry level position (seniors eligible) for which the company is specifically seeking students from NESCAC schools. It seems that an executive at Cisco has a son that just started at Bowdoin and his eyes have been opened to the value of employees who have been educated in liberal arts schools. Between that and our alum’s involvement, our students have an excellent chance at being considered for spots for these opportunities. Full job descriptions for each can be found in the following documents: Cisco Field Sales Engineering Summer Intern and Cisco Global Service Systems Engineer - Entry Level position. Below are summaries and links to our CareerLink site where students can apply.

The purpose of this program is to expose students to Cisco’s technology and customers while providing hands-on training and group project experience. Upon completion of the internship, opportunities exist to become Cisco’s next generation of sales leaders through an accelerated early in career development path.

You can jam code but crave broad impact on transformational projects vs. being locked in a scrum bunker. If your passion is innovation but you enjoy partnering with people on profoundly interdisciplinary teams explore Internet scale Cisco opportunities such as:

• Transformation of Sports, Media & Entertainment and the Future of Television

FYI, for both positions – “Candidates must already have a work authorization that would permit them to work for Cisco -- i.e., U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, permanent residents, temporary residents (that is, individuals who have gone through the legalization program) refugees and asylees.”

The Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center at Hartford Hospital is offering a volunteer internship working on the Neuroinformatics Database (NiDB) project. NiDB organizes and analyzes data collected on the Center’s two MRI scanners, EEG systems, and other neuroimaging equipment. The Center produces and analyzes approximately 35GB of imaging data per day, automatically stored and analyzed using NiDB and the only research compute cluster at Hartford Hospital. We are expanding NiDB to store new types of data and to accommodate the system’s growth. You will have an opportunity to contribute to the development of a large scale database system, using Perl, MySQL, PHP, and HTML. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to publications related to NiDB. If you are interested in a volunteer internship, contact Greg at gregory.book@hhchealth.org.
